CONTROL PANEL
AND ON-BOARD
INSTRUMENTS
On-board computer 1 fig. 167
Depending on the vehicle version, it
includes the following functions:
distance travelled;
travel parameters;
information messages;
malfunction messages (together with
warning lights
);
alarm messages (together with the
STOPwarning light).
Selection buttons for displaying
Scroll up (button 9) or down (button 10)
for the following information, pressing a
few times briefly (the display will depend
on the vehicle's equipment and country
of sale) fig. 168.You can view the following information
on the display screen:
overall and partial odometer for the
distance travelled;
fuel consumed;
average fuel consumption;
instantaneous consumption;
foreseeable autonomy;
distance travelled;
average speed;
service limit, oil change counter;
tyre pressure re-initialisation;
speed set on the Cruise Control /
Speed Limiter;
time and temperature;
on-board log, information message
scrolling and operational malfunction;
percentage volume of remaining
additives.Resetting the trip odometer
When the "overall and partial milometer"
display is selected, press either button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the milometer is
reset to zero.
Resetting travel parameters
When one of the trip parameters is
selected on the display, press button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometers travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.
